Waffle Cone-Flavored Drinks

The Caramel Waffle Cone Frappuccino is Made for Warmer Weather

Right after announcing the return of the S’mores Frappuccino, Starbucks released another blended coffee concoction called the Caramel Waffle Cone Frappuccino. The delicious new beverage combines elements of a classic summer treat with hints of indulgent caramel for a refreshing warm-weather drink.

The new Caramel Waffle Cone Frappuccino is a drink inspired by the boardwalks that often surround seaside resorts such as Atlantic City and Coney Island. But instead of a waffle cone filled with ice cream, this drink puts a creative twist on the classic boardwalk treat. The new frappuccino features coffee blended with milk, ice, caramel waffle cone syrup and dark caramel sauce. The drink is finished with whipped cream, waffle pieces and an additional drizzle of dark caramel sauce.

The tasty new drink will be available all summer long, making it the perfect way to cool down on a hot summer day.
